Description	:	The White Cemetery (AKA: Davidson Cemetery and Roxburg Cemetery) is hidden away by farm fields and trees. From what I have learned from the White Township Historical Society, the cemetery was named after the White family due to an incorrect belief that members of the White family were buried there.

Read More	The White Cemetery (AKA: Davidson Cemetery and Roxburg Cemetery) is hidden away by farm fields and trees. From what I have learned from the White Township Historical Society, the cemetery was named after the White family due to an incorrect belief that members of the White family were buried there. This was because of a statement in Alexander White’s will which mentioned a one acre area of land was to be set aside for a burial ground and church. The historical society later learned that the mentioned land did not reference the area of this cemetery and that no members of the White family were buried in this cemetery. Information gathered from the White Township Historical Society show that mainly members of the Davidson family, as well as relatives by marriage (accounting for the other prominent area family names) were buried in this cemetery. Unfortunately, an accurate list of all the burials could not be located. The Historical Society notes the first burial to be James Brakely in 1754 and the first Warren County Sheriff, George Mushback, is also buried in the cemetery. George Mushback’s stone was present in 1935, but gone by 1983. They note that in 1935, 18 stones and 3 footstones remained and that the others had been removed. The inscriptions of the remaining stones were copied by the DAR of Belvidere. They note that by 1983, 8 stones and 3 footstones remained. The Historical Society notes Davidson family burial as well as Albertson, Brakely, Brittain, Hutchinson, McHenry, Metz, Middaugh, Stinson, and Vannatta. In 1994 and 1998 a neighbor of the cemetery visited there and transcribed the inscriptions on the stones. In 1994, she transcribed 9 stones, which included Jane wife of an unknown Davidson and wife of James E. Albertson and Racheal wife of James who are not listed in on the Find a Grave Website or other records. In 1998, she returned to copy the transcriptions in more detail. She notes her initial resource as a book from Elva Roseberry and Robert Ehret. There is a stone for Sarah Albertson in the cemetery, but is not noted on the other reference sources, so this stone may belong to Sarah Brittain. In 2014 an Eagle Scout conducted a project on the cemetery and the historical society said this included the information stand, orange flag markers of where graves were, and cleaning.
